DUI/DWI laws

All 50 states and the District of Columbia have per se laws defining it as a crime to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above a specified level, currently 0.08 percent (0.08 g alcohol per 100 ml blood).

License suspension or revocation traditionally follows conviction for alcohol-impaired driving. Licenses can also be taken before conviction, under a procedure called administrative license suspension, when a driver fails or refuses to take a chemical test. Because administrative license suspension occurs immediately, it has been found to be more effective than post-conviction sanctions. Administrative license suspension is allowed in 41 states and the District of Columbia.

In many states driving privileges can be restored during a suspension, but drivers usually must demonstrate special hardship, and the restored privileges often come with limitations. For example, a person could be allowed only to drive to work or could be required to install an ignition interlock.

Interlock devices analyze a driver's breath and disable the ignition if the driver has been drinking. More than half of all U.S. states require DUI and DWI offenders to install interlocks on their vehicles in order to drive during a license suspension and/or require the devices for specified time periods before fully relicensing offenders. In 14 states and 4 California counties, such a restriction is applied to all offenders, including first-time offenders. An additional 10 states apply the restriction to offenders with high BACs (usually 0.15 percent or higher) and to repeat offenders, and 6 states apply the restriction only to repeat offenders.

The remaining states don't have mandatory interlock laws, though courts or departments of motor vehicles in 17 states and D.C. have the discretion to require them. Only 2 states — Alabama and South Dakota — have no interlock laws.
